Improvement on MyLot!

I came to MyLot and about 2:45 PM just now and had several notifications. I dove into them and was able to respond to fully five comments on my own and others' posts! The dreaded error message did not hit until my sixth attempt, but I was able to get through with only one refresh! I was able to respond, and was in pretty high spirits. Only when I tried to respond to the seventh notification was I unable to get through at all. I gave up after five refreshes. But look! I was able to find a "back door" after hitting the "back" key a couple of times, and was able to write this post! So things are improving. Perhaps by tomorrow I'll be able to respond to ten straight notifications before I am not allowed to respond to any more. Are things improving for you as well?

I was counting how long it took for something to upload. When I don't get an error message, it can range from instantaneous to about 20 seconds.

Things are improving I guess. Just managing to get by looking and being grateful for things that I see.

@TheHorse true. Every new day that we wake up is a blessing in itself.

@LadyDuck I still had lots of errors Wednesday. Oddly, I made $1.00 Tuesday, when things were terrible.

@TheHorse All I can say is good luck. I find that I still cannot get into new posts to respond and also people that respond to my post. I have my way of trying to get in but it seems like some I can get in and some cannot.

Wow! I hope you continue to be so blessed. It's getting to the point where I expect not to be able to get through at all one of these mornings.

@Butterfingers Right now I am able to visit comments and leave comments without issue. But that could change at any moment.

Thanks for the tip about hitting the "back" key. I've just been hitting the refresh button a million times. It gets frustrating but I guess if you're determined you'll have the patience to keep trying until you succeed, right? It took me quite a few attempts to get back onto this discussion, by the way. Kind of ironic!

Bummer that it's still happening. I had only one error message yesterday. I always hit the back key when I encounter a discussion that "no longer exists." Else I have to log in again.

@marlina Me too. I got an error message getting to this comment, but it took only one refresh to see things right.

How bad can things get? If MyLot disappears, I will truly miss my MyLot friends.

@wolfgirl569 It's a famous line, but I can't remember which romantic comedy it's from.

It was bad for me for a while, where I'd have to try 6 or 7 times before I could get through to comment on a post or respond to a notification. But it seems to have gotten better lately. I only get the error message occasionally now, and at random times. But like you found out, I can usually hit the back button and try again and it usually takes care of the problem.

@TheHorse I agree. Sometimes you can find ways to work around it, and sometimes you just have to say "F-it" and call it a day.

I get the odd error message - mostly when I come back to the site after a few minutes away doing something else.

i haven't had issues in a couple of days, i do wonder now if it is a server load issue.

What exactly would that mean? I'm not very tech savvy. By the way, this is my first comment of the morning, and I got here directly from my email notifications with no problem.

@TheHorse basically when there are huge numbers of users, the servers get overloaded...
